About handball

Handball is a children's folk ball game played in Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji. The game is similar to downball and four square. The rules of the game vary across different regions and conditions, but consistent details across all playstyles is that the game is played on a flat game court with lined, gridded square or rectangular zones, and at least two players, who each occupy a square of the playing court and take turns hitting a ball with bouncy properties, often a tennis ball, squash ball or, occasionally, a bouncy ball with their bare hands. Players must first hit the ball into their own square in such a way that the next time the ball hits the ground it lands into one of the other player's squares without having to touch the ball again. The game can be adapted to environments where square or rectangular-lined flat grounds can be found, such as other gyms, arenas, parking spaces and even concrete slabbed driveways and footpaths. It is also known as four square and downball, although unrelated to the other sports of the same names.
